<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Midas, post: 49122, member: 2761&quot;]You will be hard pressed to find silver coins in circulation dated before 1965.&nbsp; In the late 70&#039;s when the Hunt brothers were trying to corner the silver market (prices reached over $50 per troy ounce), most were pulled and scraped for their melt value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I remember those days as a teen.&nbsp; I had rolls of silver coins (from my days as a paper boy) that were worth nothing from a collector standpoint.&nbsp; A local pawn shop have ran full page ads offering 1000% face value for pre-1965 coins, then 1500%, then 2200% all the way up to 4000% CASH value which is when I SOLD!</p><p><br /></p><p>My Dad thought I was crazy, but I figured anybody offering $4 for a dime and $10 for a quarter was also insane!!&nbsp; Weeks later it all came crashing down!</p><p><br /></p><p>So...many silver and gold items in the late 70&#039;s and early 80&#039;s were scrapped for their melt value and finding a pre-1965 dime, quarter, and half dollar in circulation would in fact be rare.&nbsp; Good luck!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.nwtmintbullion.com/images/SilverBars_stack.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
